I am a huge fan of any lipstick or lip gloss. A liquid lipstick I love the idea of, because I like the texture and softness of gloss and the pigmentation of lipstick. This particular formula (they say) is pigmented, none sticky, shiny, creamy, moisturising. It goes on wet like a lip gloss but lasts for up to 8 hours.

I have the shade Naughty Naive 230 which is a bold reddish pink with no sparkles or pearl.

First things first, the Envy Liquid Lip Potion comes in gorgeous packaging, in Estee Lauder’s typical deep blue – it feels expensive and looks elegant. I like the window on the side of the tube which means you an see what colour you have and how much is left easily.

I also like the applicator which is the right amount of firm and soft, it is slightly curved and fits into the corners of the lips easily. It allows for some precision which is important when the lip colour is so pigmented.

Texture wise, it is excellent. It does feel like a gloss but with a thicker texture – almost a tad mousse like. I do not like overly runny textures when the colours are so pigmented as it tends to get messy and go all over the teeth. It is extremely pigmented with just one swipe.

In terms of lasting power – mine did not last for 8 hours but it did leave a fairly deep stain which lasted for a few hours – not an ugly stain either, a pretty and even one, so yes, if you apply this you will have some colour on your lips for a while, which is a good thing!

Although this liquid lip colour isn’t runny one still has to be careful – I got this on my teeth a few times and that doesn’t tend to happen so much I think because I applied too much, or too close to the inside of my lips….if in doubt, THIN LAYERS.

Here is the colour on me – I really like it as a ombre lip stain colour too:

This is a lovely lip product and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to dry a lovely moisturising liquid lip colour – it makes a change from all the dead matte liquid lipsticks out there which look fashionable but don’t exactly make the lips look lush – this one does.

The liquid lipstick looks gorgeous and i love the colour. It is preferred by many because of its texture and moisturising effect. I think it is one of those things that any beauty enthusiast would love to keep in their beauty bag. Thanks for sharing!
